Rygel 0.5.0 (Mind the Baby) is out!

The first release in the unstable 0.5.x series. Changes since 0.4.6 that were
not provided by any subsequent 0.4.x releases:
- New URI generation scheme that avoids problematic characters which makes some
crappy renderers choke.
- Allow creation of new media items and tranfering data into existing ones (
upload). This is relavent to, and works for both MediaExport and Tracker.
- Implement GetTransferProgress and StopTransferResource actions.
- Advertise:
- support for connection stalling.
- live response to be sender-paced.
- Rewrite SearchCriteria parser to make it more reliable.
- Tracker:
- Port to the Tracker 0.7 APIs.
- Provide richer & more intuitive media hierarchy.
- Signal container update on changes to subjects.
- Act on config options allowing user to define which categories to share.
- Support for search by URI.
- Descriptive IDs for containers.
- MediaExport
- Implement custom search that translates to an SQLite query and therefore
performs much faster than before.
- Print message on console when harvesting is done.
- Don't modify DB if harvester was cancelled.
- Cancel harvester before starting new one.
- Lots of non-functional improvements and fixes.
